Welcome to the Retired Teachers Chapter

Tom Murphy

Dear Retiree,

Welcome to the Retired Teachers Chapter (RTC) section of the UFT website! There’s always a lot going on at the RTC and this page is your go-to place to get an overview of all the programs and services at your disposal as a retired member of the UFT. From information about our Si Beagle Learning Centers and the social services we offer, to benefits information and the latest news from the union, you’ll find it here.

Check out our calendar to keep up with all our meetings, trips and events, in New York City and around the country. We’re here to represent you and you can count on us to keep you informed about what’s happening in City Hall, Albany and Washington that affects you as a retiree, a UFT member and a concerned citizen.

NYC Health Plan Transfer Period. The transfer plan for retiree health insurance will take place soon. If you are interested in learning about your choices, visit the UFT Welfare Fund. The transfer period is in November and will be effective January 1, 2015.
